ABC 7 Chicago reports that about a year ago, Claudia Ackley and her children were hiking when they came across a big, 800-pound hairy beast, which they claim was a Bigfoot, perched about 30 feet up in a tree staring at them. When they called 911 to report the incident, the operator told them that they saw a bear, not a Bigfoot... because Bigfoots (Bigfeet?) aren't real.

Why exactly she has filed a lawsuit isn't very clear. Does she want money? Does she just want the state to acknowledge that she actually saw a Sasquatch? Who knows! But we're not expecting much to come out of this whole thing.
